To be fair, George Washington had better evidence for his existence than Jesus. You can't compare the two.
Of course, but my point is that the historical evidence for an historical figure named "Jesus" who came from "Nazareth" has reached a 'critical mass', that is, it is not reasonable to doubt that he existed. Why do the overwhelming number of scholars believe in an historical Jesus?
